Bugskull

Bugskull (often spelled Bügsküll), the brainchild of Oregon’s guitarist and vocalist (and former folksinger) Sean Byrne, coined a style of arrangement that was the post-rock equivalent of Brian Wilson’s orchestral productions: a catalog of musical mistakes instead of an abundance of instrumental counterpoint. The “songs” of Phantasies And Senseitions (1994) were jams of found sounds, electronic sounds, distortions, out-of-tune passages, abstract noise, and, last but not least, senseless lullabies. Distracted Snowflake Volume One (1997) marked the formal triumph of his techniques of lo-fi avantgarde. Each piece was carefully sculpted with a myriad of sounds, resulting in “songs” that were both overwhelming and exhilarating.
